Which lightweight twin buggy Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a light double pushchair, especially if you have children with different age groups. They are generally easy to steer, fold and transport up and down the stairs.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also comes with a frame that expands in width to accommodate the second car seat or a second passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best double stroller for children who can sit up without assistance, as they tend to lack car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. They come with an recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a big canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver, despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who worry about getting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that expands in width to accommodate an additional seat, which makes it lighter than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating available. It can be pushed through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great when you're planning to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat. It's also available in a range of fun colors.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization through a modular frame. It's a clever design that lets you transform it into a single stroller or a double with the addition of two car seats or carrycots (it can even accommodate twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also is one of the lightest and stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

If you're looking for a compact, lightweight double, consider the egg2 which folds to the size of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how simple and sleek it was to use even when loaded with children.

small double stroller pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't foolproof however -If your children are at the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who gets to ride in which seat. And if they're different heights it could be that a tandem design might be better for them, as it lets them look at each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be better suited for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some come with seats that can be reversible or a carrycot that is located in the middle. They are generally more spacious and simple to access and exit from, although their baskets tend to be smaller than those of single buggies. Many have larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks great and is easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is the one-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". The carrycot cannot be folded while it's attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is easy and quick.

Tandem strollers that are lightweight typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they may be harder to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy which is initially an individual and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. This can include an additional seat or carrycot in the front or the kids can be seated side-by-side. Some may have the option of including a buggyboard, which assists an older child to keep up with siblings who are younger.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, since it can be converted into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for infants. These can be placed on top of each other or positioned to face each other and you can also use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as long as you choose an appropriate one). Because they're made from high-quality materials, these dual-use buggies can often be used for years without displaying much wear, meaning they have the highest price resales.

Single-to-Double

This compact double buggy is designed for outdoor-loving family who would like to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger by acquiring kits that include air-filled tires and all Terrain double Stroller-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is ideal for twins or children of different ages. It's also a good choice for parents who want an elegant design that's as sleek as a single, and comes in a variety of fabric colours.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold with the use of a single hand. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and the carrycot.

The seat can be used parent-facing, and you can also purchase accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for newborns. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good headrests and lumbar support. There are many options to recline the seats, with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat offering a reclining option.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it tends to be larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side which makes it more difficult to get through doorways and is difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these models generally are capable of coping with paved surfaces and the fact that they're generally lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still have plenty of storage space. It's important to remember that these strollers aren't as adept at navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets and can struggle to handle a lot of shopping. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, this can still be a hassle. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are great because they are able to be adapted to the changing needs of a family. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or a carrycot (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted back to a single one when your child's older age begins to walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can carry children up to 40 lbs each and features a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs and front and back suspensions for smoother riding on rough terrain were well-loved by testers at home. It also comes with an easy-to-use cup holder for parents, and an ample accessible, easily accessible basket. The backs have tiny pockets, which are only sufficient to hold the phone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations and comes with a second seat and carrycot. It has a distinctive steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions to smooth rough terrain and a compact double stroller fold that can be folded up with straps for easy transport, and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks, and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a top pick by our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats facing the parent. Its extremely light weight (about the same as single to double pushchair pushchairs) makes it easy to move. Its reversible seats mean that you can flip them to face either direction and the clever method by which it attaches an additional seat or riding board to the rear is appreciated by many. Parents also appreciated that it accommodates infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
